8 Keys to Healing Managing and...

Morgan Johnson, Babette Rothschild

Everyone is vulnerable to burnout and anyone can succumb to its effects. Empty suggestions, like "just relax" or work sponsored resilience workshops often lead to feeling judged or wasting precious time. Through eight key concepts, therapist Morgan Johnson offers a new way to combat burnout by feeling whole and reconnecting with the world and relationships around you. 
 
 
 
Each chapter focuses on a different concept and explains the science behind it. Activities, therapy techniques, journaling prompts, and personal anecdotes are shared to help listeners implement the concept in their recovery journey. Although much of the book expands on solutions that help listeners work smarter not harder, Johnson acknowledges that many elements are out of our control—particularly societal, financial, and political systems that depend on exploitation to thrive. Toxic positivity, compassion fatigue, glimmers and triggers, and other key themes are also discussed. 
 
 
 
This book is designed to support anyone experiencing burnout, including the overworked employee, overloaded parents and caregivers, those suffering from chronic illnesses, and those just starting to feel the initial effects of burnout. Ultimately, the book empowers individuals to improve their mental wellness by leveraging their current situation while moving towards a society rid of burnout.

I Do (I Think) - Conversations...

Allison Raskin

"Allison Raskin’s book unpacks the questions and uncertainties around marriage that so many of us have... a must-read for anyone and everyone that may be curious about the intricacies of modern marriage.” –Nick Viall, TV Personality, Host of The Viall Files, and Bestselling AuthorFrom Just Between Us cohost and bestselling author Allison Raskin comes a witty, incisive take on modern marriage and how a new generation can navigate its uncertainties and questions.Marriage rates may be on the decline, but that doesn’t mean marriage is disappearing from society. In fact, as modern relationship norms and structures continue to evolve, the public discourse about marriage has never been louder—or more conflicted. Divorce rates, the appeal of cohabitation, seemingly infinite options for future partners, the patriarchal roots of marriage and gender roles, and economic uncertainty are just a few factors that leave a new generation of single and dating adults wondering. What does marriage even look like now? Why do people still do it? And, most importantly, is it “for me”?With conversational wit and compassion, bestselling author Allison Raskin draws on new research, interviews with licensed experts, and the stories of real-life couples to break down the many pieces of today’s “marriage conversation”—and to make the leap of faith a little less scary for Gen Z and millennial adults like herself. What emerges is a thoughtful investigation into our cultural assumptions about commitment, compatibility, divorce, meaningful partnership, the future of marriage—and what it really means to join your bank accounts.

The Last Romantic - C S Lewis...

Jeffrey W. Barbeau

Credo Book Award Winner – Natural Theology
"There are so many books on Lewis that are simply a rehash of existing knowledge; by contrast, this is a work of fresh, detailed, illuminating scholarship. ... Barbeau's use of Lewis's personal annotations in the books in the Marion E. Wade Collection is a revelation and makes this book a permanent and important contribution to the study of Lewis's thought." – Malcolm Guite, Girton College, Cambridge
Three Essays on C. S. Lewis and Romanticism
Many readers have heard C. S. Lewis's logical arguments for the Christian faith. Yet throughout his wide-ranging study and writing, Lewis often began with experience, intuition, and religious feeling rather than dogmatic assertions. The most profound questions of Lewis's own life, argues theologian and literary critic Jeffrey Barbeau, can be seen in his quest to understand the relationship between personal experience and the truth about the world around him.
In a series of three essays, Barbeau explores the influence of nineteenth-century Romanticism on the writings of C. S. Lewis. Barbeau demonstrates Lewis's indebtedness to Romantic notions of imagination and subjectivity, opens new contexts for understanding ideas about memory and personal identity in his autobiographical writings, and explores beliefs about nature and Christian sacraments throughout his writings on Christian faith. This theological and literary investigation reveals Lewis as a profoundly modern thinker and illuminates his ongoing relevance to contemporary debates about theology and culture.
Drawing on extensive reading of the marginalia in the personal library of C. S. Lewis held by the Marion E. Wade Center, Barbeau offers a fresh understanding of the influence of modern theology and Romantic poetry, especially Wordsworth and Coleridge, on many of Lewis's most beloved works. Essays and responses include:

- C. S. Lewis and the "Romantic Heresy," with response from professor Sarah Borden,
- C. S. Lewis and the Anxiety of Memory, with response from professor Matthew Lundin, and
- C. S. Lewis and the Sacramental Imagination, with response from professor Keith L. Johnson.

About the Series
The Hansen Series celebrates the literary and spiritual contributions of seven British authors whose works have captivated readers across generations: Owen Barfield, G. K. Chesterton, C. S. Lewis, George MacDonald, Dorothy L. Sayers, J. R. R. Tolkien, and Charles Williams. These seven authors were all deeply involved in the friendships and intellectual exchanges that shaped the Inklings, a mid-twentieth-century group of Christian writers and thinkers in Oxford, England. This series invites readers to deepen their engagement with these timeless voices and their enduring influence on literature, faith, and the life of the imagination.
